Poem 46 : Never say die

When wolves of time surround you,
gleaming their sharp teeth,
when fear creeps
under your skin,
when hope fades out,
when strength thins up,
when death is about to embrace,
A coward would flee
praying out for thee.
Wolves would run behind
to tear apart its prey.
Death would come eventually,
slowly, painfully.

'No' screams inner me,
'Fight' is the call,
Like a warrior first,
with gritted teeth,
with stiffen jaws,
crouching and waiting,
for a move, a wrong one,
and you unleash,
with a fist of fury,
like hell fire,
no holds barred,
nothing held back.

In the shadows,
Was a silent master,
Master of time,
one who sent his wolves,
watching patiently,
smiling like he knew
what would happen,
whistles from the shadows.
Wolves stare back annoyingly,
The fight has to end.
They stroll back
to their master.

With bruises,cuts and wounds,
in the pool of blood,
lies a warrior,
who has fought to death,
against the wolves of time,
He has won
to live another day,
to fight another fight.
Thus the play ends to say,
Fight through and through,
Never say die,
when you die, die proud.

Poem 45 : Shiva and Sati

Mysterious is this energy
formed from the cohesion
of the opposite poles
to have formed a synergy.

Strong and Weak,
Stable and unstable,
Fusion and Fission,
Create and Destroy.

Swivelling around the
center of Positive
is the charged Negative
formed to create & sustain.

it is this Love,
so beautiful up above.
The love of Universe,
The love of Fire & Ice.

The Mother of Fire
& The Snow Lord,
Mother's Fire to Create
and Lord's Fury to Destroy.

One in another or
One for the other,
Both breathe as one
to live as one.

Shiva and Sati,
as Life and Love,
Inseperable and intangible
are you both out there.

May your creation,
live and breathe,
in your grace and Love,
The Love of Fire and Ice.

May we dance to 
the rhythm of love
and sing with fervor
the tandav of you both.

Let the World,
live for each other
and for one another
like Shiva and Sati.
